  • Community Discussion (All)

  • JT - possible suggestions for communicating with the broader group - update profiles on the wiki and you could also email the mailing list with any questions
  • PB - there are lots of ways to support getting to know each other from a technology perspective, but maybe we can do a survey or something to collect data about each person's expertise and interests
